I just received this message, forwarded by my son in Boeblingen Germany. A
friend shared it with him. He shared it with his friends and family. I
share it with you.
Happy Thanksgiving from Nebraska to friends around the world.

As I sit here with a tear in my eye and a little choked up, I thought I would

send this to those that I call my friends............

> Around The Corner: By Henson Towne
>
> Around the corner I have a friend,
> In this great city that has no end,
> Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
> And before I know it, a year is gone.
> And I never see my old friend's face,
> For life is a swift and terrible race,
> He knows I like him just as well,
> As in the days when I rang his bell.
> And he rang mine.
> If, we were younger then,
> And now we are busy, tired men.
> Tired of playing a foolish game,
> Tired of trying to make a name.
> "Tomorrow" I say "I will call on Jim."
> "Just to show that I'm thinking of him."
> But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
> And distance between us grows and grows.
> Around the corner! - yet miles away,
> "Here's a telegram sir."
> "Jim died today."
> And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
> Around the corner, a vanished friend.
>
> Remember to always say what you mean. If you love someone, tell them.
> Don't be afraid to express yourself. Reach out and tell someone what
> they mean to you. Because when you decide that it is the right time, it
> might be too late. Seize the day. Never have regrets. And most
> importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped
> make you the person that you are today.
>
> Pass this along to your friends. It could make a difference. The
> difference between doing all that you can or having regrets which may
> stay with you forever.
